well my new pony isn't exactly as advertised .... "Easy to catch" .... We keep him at our own place - he's a 12hh Welsh 12 years old gelding . The trouble is that he is really hard to catch and I just want to be able to walk up to him on the paddock and attach his lead rope ... I can very easily get him to come in by leaving the gate open so he brings himself in and eats his treats then I can attach his lead rope and all is ok - the only problem is that he comes in at speed (he's greedy) and he is frightening the children - the method we are currently trying is to deprive him of much grazing and the not letting him come in on his own and whenever I approach on the paddock if he walks away I just leave him out - put his sweets that were waiting for him on the yard away and leavie him to think for a few hours - will this work ? I've read so many stories of people having a total nightmare catching their ponies ! Advice appreciated !
